Think I've got my very own ebay CF...

AIBU?

Buyer misdescribes something for £30 which was about the going rate for the item. Won't put too much ID info, but it is for fitting into a house so accuracy important. Courier picks up item (30 miles away from a 4th floor flat with no lift), it is delivered to my house. Seller a bit of a PITA and not quick to reply to emails. Actual Item is not what was described so unusable. Thinking about it, photography is a bit 'tricky' so obviously they know it is not right. Annoyed, I source another one but have to pay more as time now of the essence. Contact eBay to open dispute. Buyer immediately refunds. I contact buyer at the same time I receive the refund to say thanks for the refund, do you want the thing back? I explain why the listing isn't correct. She asked 'where do you live?' I reply with the county name ...She doesn't reply for three days. Today I get a message via eBay 'would it be ok if I re-list the item for collection at your house? Err no love. Relist an incorrect listing at my house so that I have to deal with your buyer realising it's not correct when they arrive? Whilst you take the cash? No ta. Not to mention do I want to wait in for your buyer to not turn up? And my house is bloody difficult to find at he best of times. Who on earth honestly thinks this would be a reasonable request??!

Oh my goodness, you have to laugh don't you.

What a pain in the ass for you all round.

I’m confused-How did a buyer misdescribe at item?

TheCatsMother44 · 28/02/2018 11:42

I read it as meaning to say seller misdescribed.

Think along the lines of an item with a specific type of fitting. Except it doesn't have that fitting at all. Pics taken so that it is not clear but item line description say it is what I think it should be. So I buy it. At the going rate so not at all suspicious.

That's certainly a new one. HmmShock How cheeky!

It's a pain in the neck coordinating pick ups for stuff you're selling yourself, let alone for someone else! Especially so as there wouldn't even be a financial reward at the end (or prior) for all the bother.

Glad you said 'no' OP.

If you've been refunded, I would suggest they either collect or it goes out in the rubbish.
